A Speciality Stitch Finish

I'm happy with the way it turned out but am less than thrilled with the coverage in the Kloster Blocks using #8 Pearl Cotton.

Oh well, I didn't want to pull all that back out at the time.

I'm sure that I'll stitch this design again at some time.

Designer: Abi GurdenFinished: April 2012 Stitched on 28ct. white Lugana using DMC #5 and #8 Pearl Cottonin #321 and floss in #115 varigated redand#94 varigated green withpetite gold Mill Hill beads.I changed things up a bit by adding a few more beads, filling in the smallhearts with satin stitch and adding a scalloped edge to the klosterblock edge. I also added doves eyes in the shape of a heart to the center.

Haven't had much stitching mojo lately so not much to post about, but I hope to remedy that soon.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look around and thank you so much for all the comments that you leave behind after your visits. They always warm my heart.

I live in a very small town in Montana with my hubs. I love all things Rustic, Primitive and Country. I also love designing and stitching Counted Cross Stitch and Hardanger, sewing, crafting, gardening, home canning and Genealogy.
